Novak Djokovic wins the China Open on Tuesday after Alex de Minaur retires during the final, allowing Djokovic to keep his unbeaten record in Beijing. The Serbian, who already leads the tour standings in the match with de Minaur, is credited with the title after the Australian stops the match early.
Multiple reports say Djokovic takes the first set in a tie-break 7-6 (7/3). They add that de Minaur is ahead by a game in the second set before the retirement ends the match. Djokovic’s victory marks the 102nd singles title of his career, according to the outlets.
The coverage is consistent on the key match events—Djokovic’s tie-break win, de Minaur leading in the second set, and the retirement. Where outlets differ is mainly in emphasis: some highlight Djokovic’s prolonged unbeaten streak in Beijing, while others focus more on the set-by-set progression and Djokovic’s remarks during the trophy ceremony.
